Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Review | Stellar battery life?

[@blamelouis]

Just got mine today as an upgrade from galaxy 3 . Not really missing the bezel as much as I thought the watch is super responsive. Seems to integrate a lot more with your phone (S22 ultra) than the three. Looking forward to doing a bit of hiking and checking the fitness tracking . Strap is as Chris said superb. One happy upgrader.

[@keyamomelvin2241]

A watch that can buy a good midrange phone. 🔥

[@shadevelt]

it costs like a midrange phone

[@jaalm4711]

It's a midrange phone

[@Ghost_70026]

Yeah but with that square one, you can buy a good mid premium phone instead of that.

[@prateekpriyadarshy]

Well that's not for everyone though.

[@ncorvelli]

With trade in of the watch 4 classic it's only $200 with tax.. so... Not really.

[@damiens6683]

Just got mine 5 pro Gray version LTE and I'm loving it

[@sethi100]

Are using the band that came with? Or a 3rd party band?

[@vuko]

Is there an option to enable LTE only when you get disconnected from the phone? (Can it be done automatically?). I have Gear S3 and I think about replacing it for 5 pro LTE.

[@scorpioftw]

I really don't see how people get 3 days of battery life out of the watch. I've had mine for a week and I've even tried to turn off every function, but the max time I get is two days and 5 hours. Even with power saving on it only lasts 2 days and 17 hours. So either there's something wrong with my watch, or reviewers are just saying stuff without testing.

[@muddywaters0819]

Simple fix,charge it at the end of each day

[@themusiclover8440]

Does the 5 pro have the same issue the watch 4 classic has..where it overheats/gets hot a lot and has to go into cooling down mode?

[@true2life73]

I received GW5P today, and I like it! I traded in my GW4 (44m) and believe it is a good upgrade due to the increased battery life. However, I will keep my GW4C (45m) when I want to dress up! Plus, the rotating bezel is a classic clean look. Lol, see what I did there😏

[@richoneplanet7561]

Ditto - going to keep the Galaxy 4's with the rotating bezels. 👍🏼

[@timfagan816]

I'll wire you $183.72 for your GW4C, bigboi! Keen?

[@marcochavane3124]

How you liking the watch 5 Pro? I really loved the GW4 Classic and am really partial to the rotating bezel. But if it gives 2-3 days more battery life I'd be willing to give it up for that.

[@GaryTabarJr]

Yet no one mentions you can't charge the watch on the promo gift duo charger. Just got mine yesterday, and Samsung confirmed this, and recommends using the luck charger instead. What's? What good is a promotion gift that doesn't work on the purchased?

[@SirLucidThoughts]

Love it so far, I've read some watch face downloads can reduce battery life, but, that's why I got the Pro, extra powerful battery. Thanks for your video.

[@AvidDreams]

Very solid review! Finally changing from my Original Galaxy watch to this one.

[@Matitzarichie]

Champion review. Mine's coming the morra so I'll give you some feedback of my own after a bit. I'm missing the bezel already, and can't keep my fingers off my phone as may last clicky happy times come to a close. P.S. The Lads will make the play-offs. Mebs.

[@GuloGulo420]

you confused me. Can you use the Google Assistant instead of Bixby?

[@gumbyx84]

Do you think it's worth getting a Galaxy Watch4 Classic over the Watch5? I like the rotating bezel and have found refurbished 46mm going for around $200. I primarily use it for notifications, reading and replying to messages , and the occasional Assistant question. As long as the battery holds out for 12ish hours I'll be happy.

[@belgradeboy1977]

Go for it. You'll save a bunch of money and still have a great watch. I have GW4C and I love it. The only thing I miss is a bigger size since mine is 42mm (it came free with the phone anyways) but the rest is just perfect. For me the rotating bezel is a win and nothing beats it. Battery life is also great. I sleep with it and do an early morning exercise (treadmill 3-5km, 3-5 weight and cable machines exercises and 20 minutes swimming), charge it for about an hour until I get ready for work (usually it gets full charge) and then go to work. Charge it again in the evening before I go to sleep and that's it. Never seen less than 30%. IMO GW5 don't have enough features worth upgrading (I think body temp only if you're into it). Again, rotating bezel is just so satisfying. Good luck

[@vipinnanhe]

Not worthy than...GW4C46mm

Maybe it's just me, but why would you need your watch to last 3 or 4 days when your phone doesn't? I own the Pro myself, and I find that if I forgot to charge or something, that extra day and a half is worth it, and that's all I need. i don't see how the battery is a negative

[@ronaldmelia1172]

I have decided to get rid of my smart watch having had the Smart watch 4 6-7 months now. As a fitness tracker it is poor, GPS all over the place, heart rate monitor is poor. There is a problem with software if you do HIT style running, the GPS is always wrong, when compared with just walking or just running, this issue was on their Gear S3 so they ignored my observations. The watch 4 is charged twice per day! Yes twice per day when I drive to work and when I drive home, if I don't, it wont last the night. I am going on Holiday soon and I am taking a normal watch, because I don't want to spend all day in my room charging the damn thing. As a smart watch? I don't really see the pint of it. I am beginning to lose interest in Tech, you know what? it doesn't help you at all.

[@mchaywood83]

Refurb Watch 5 pro for $100 or brand new watch 6 classic 47 for $139?

[@kajetanczechowski1263]

I'm among the customers who bought the Galaxy Watch 4 a couple of weeks prior to the successor's debut, because Samsung offered it for less money then. I don't regret my choice as there're no significant differences between the basic models. And a bit bigger battery, allowing for 50 hours of usage on a single charge, didn't appeal to me, because I can easily pull out two full days out of the GW4 without having to refrain from taking advantage of any of its capabilities.

[@pisstaker5552]

What's the point in owning a smartwatch then if you're not using its capabilities? May as well just buy a basic Casion.

[@kajetanczechowski1263]

[@robertgarrett5009]

I've had mine for jut over a week, can't sleep with it, and unlike you as a desk surfer, mine is already scratched and dinged. The standard straps are horrible as they don't breath and keep your sweat against your skin. Also the curved back causes a pressure point. Also this watch does not workbwell with any of the qi chargers that I've used thanks too this curved back. Can't wait for the next firmware update. My feed back is it is uncomfortable too wear if you have small wrists. I got mine for £280 direct from Samsung UK.

[@graemeleith5611]

Chris, you're right to call out Samsung's mediocre battery life in comparison to competitors. I don't understand KZbinrs who continue to "congratulate" Samsung, Apple (and maybe Google to come) on incremental increases in battery life that still fall way short of even one week. I can't believe that these big techs can't build a watch that barely lasts 72 hours when Fitbit, Huawei, Garmin, Withings, Coros, etc. can. It would be anti anti-stress for me to have to remember to charge my watch in order to get through one night's sleep. The US KZbinrs don't even mention Huawei. I picked the GT3 that, health wise, does everything a Samsung does and more, and better (check out The Quantified Scientist). I even paired it with a Huawei P30 Pro to get the full benefit of Google Services, at least on my phone. Fab watches, Samsung, but give us at least a week of battery life and I'll start considering buying one that costs double the price of a Huawei.

Removing the rotating bezel means there's no upgrade path for me, and as Samsung hold the patent for rotating bezels it looks like they are going to squat the patent and not do anything with so no one else can either.

[@salawu]

Still getting to grips with my new GW5Pro, but the obvious disappointment is the loss of the bezel. I soooo miss that navigation tool, and unique selling point. In my view, aesthetically the bezel made the Samsung Classic ranges so distinguished. Ok, enough about what I miss. Generally the watch is very nice. However, I'm finding the gesturer response is slower than I experience with my GW3. So when I rotate my wrist to see the time, there's a noticeable delay. To make sure I wasn't imagining the difference, I did side by side comparisons and filmed it. There is a .01 difference. Not the end of the world, but not what I expect for a £460.00 piece of hardware. Especially when compared to a 4yr old watch. I assume Wear is to blame. I was going to send it back because in my view there just isn't enough of a step up from my Watch 3 to make this worth the cost and loss of the beloved bezel. That said, I need a new watch, so this will do for now.

[@iannelli2448]

Bro, a physical bezel is a weakness. It's just another failure point. These smartwatches are more durable and long-lasting without a rotating bezel. In daily use it really makes no difference. I'd rather not have something that water, sand, and dirt can get lodged into. Way happier with no bezel.

[@salawu]

@@iannelli2448 I don't disagree that the more moving parts, the greater the failure points. I just like it!! I've had/have 3 or 4 versions of Samsung's watches, from the 1st iteration with the bezel to 5Pro. I guess I'm just a creature of Habit. That said, now that I've been using it for a month, I'm getting used to not having the bezel. I also have the 4 Classic, and transitioning back and forth I'm finding I don't use the bezel much on my 4 Classic. So I guess, "you can teach an old dog new tricks!". 'This is the way!'

[@iannelli2448]

@salawu This is the way! But I'm glad it's working out for you man. I keep seeing people praying for a rotating bezel on the GW6 and I'm like... why would you want to turn back the page on this technology? It'd be like reintroducing more physical buttons on phones, or even a physical keyboard on phones. I think we are all better off embracing the newfound durability and weatherproof-ness of these devices :)

Huawei doesn't offer NFC, LTE,or Wi-Fi conductivity so couldn't be really considered as smart watch. Google assistant is probably the best upgrade recently for Samsung because you can control all your smart things make phone calls etc. Battery life should really be compared with Apple Watch which has the same conductivity as Samsung watch.
